Re: What did you cook today?
I made some two-minute ramen this morning. Later on I had a sandwich from AM/PM.
I can't cook worth two shits.

Re: What did you cook today?
Made pan-seared duck breast. Cooked up a cherry semi-demi-glace and asparagus to go with it.
The grocery store I get my duck from changed brands, the new D'artagnan brand breasts have a lot more fat than the ones I'm used to cooking. The fatty part is always too rubbery, or I don't get a good enough sear and the fat is not rubbery but doesn't have the nice browned color and crunch. Difficult to get right

Re: What did you cook today?
Really flavorful. A lot richer than chicken and the flavor is totally different. Much... gamier, I guess is the best way to describe it.
Easy to cook for beginner chefs as long as you get a small piece, the bigger (and fattier) the breast the more difficult the balancing act is when searing it. If you've never tried duck I really recommend it. Great flavor Even if you don't cook it yourself, order it next time you eat at a fancy place. In other news I am cooking duck again right now which I why I thought of this thread. I fucking aced the searing, rendered the fat nicely with a good golden crust on it. Making the sauce now, get me some of that Julia Childs recipe mmhm
